Chiang Mai Kitchen

Real-deal Thai cuisine in central Oxford, in a fine medieval building tucked down a little alleyway. As well as the expected curries, with plenty of seafood, rice and noodle favourites, it serves standout classics such as stir-fried chicken with cashew nuts, and, among excellent vegetarian options, a sensational, tear-jerkingly hot sôm·đam (spicy papaya salad).
